Is this suitable for an apartment wall? Will it damage the paint after being stuck on for months?

I have not used it in that context but it seems to be a safe enough product...it is very similar to contact paper so the outcome should be the same.

I think it the weather conditions are right there would be no problem. I don't know how permanent the paint would be. There might be some kind of sealer available at the hardware store that would make it more permanent. We found it to be pretty sturdy, but it was always kept indoors.

In my case , the tips of the legs and the small trees were coming off the walls within a few hours. The rest of the decal is sticking fine but it's only been a few days since I put it up . No, it does not peel the paint.

You can peel it off and restick it to another area of a wall. I'm not sure if it will damage your wall - it hasn't damaged mine.

yes! definitely. I'd suggest something like acrylic that isn't water soluble, just for longevity. But painting on it works like a charm.

I wouldn't. It does use very sticky backing (so not to peel the paint from the wall when you remove it) . I can easily see it coming off when you build up humidity from taking a hot shower or shave.

No it didn't peel off the paint in my wall. Not sure how it's going to be for you. But I'd say most likely not.

Since I already have this one, I'd probably buy a different decal. After 6 months, it still looks great and has no signs of peeling. Remember to use a credit card edge when applying so it adheres nicely to your wall.

They have been up for about a month and we've had no problems at all. The decals are so awesome. W we painted the walls and let it harden for 2 weeks like they suggested and they are textured semi gloss walls. There has been no issues.

It did not leave any marks on my ceiling. I guess it depends on the apartment on what type and color of paint it uses.

I applied mine to a recently plastered (week before) and then painted (4 days before) wall. It stuck fine, until I came to readjust them and it ripped off the paint and even some of the plaster. I would not recommend these at all. I really wish I'd just put a hook up.

Hi! I wouldn't try it. Application involves water and I think the adhesive would take the paint of your walls. :(

Okay, the adhesive on the back of these MAY NOT be strong enough to mount pictures in frames. [enough] dual lock itself is certainly strong enough for the weight of a frame, but I'd be more worried about the glue on the back not only not holding to your wall, AND, yes, probably chipping some paint off assuming you do get it to stick to the wall well. Basically, it's gonna tear off your wall before it breaks the "dual lock". This is an amazing product, but you have to be really smart about how you use it. I have some stuck to wood and drywall around my apartment, but in certain cases I've even staple-gunned it, or superglued it, depending on the application. REGARDLESS, this product is a great value, and you may want to pick some up to test it how you plan to use it. For example, if you stick enough of it to a wall, perhaps in the shape of the frame, or just the top and bottom edge, and apply pressure for a spell, I wouldn't be worried about it holding a glass frame. But if you're stingy with it, you're bound to have little accidents. The adhesive glue is not as reliable as the dual lock itself.

No worries, it will fall off of the wall within a few weeks. If not, you can rip it off, along with the paint below it. 0 stars.

It's pretty sticky, I applied over a textured wall & it's not going anywhere :)

Yes it comes off clean even from painted wall as long its not a fresh paint and as long you remove it slowly and according to instructions. If it is a new paint then wait at least three or four weeks before installing it.

I wouldn't. Short of an automotive paint with a few dozen clear cotes anything you paint this with will quickly wear and flake off. also, the texture and shape would probably encourage flaking. If that doesn't scare you off try it with one and pit it on the wall. You might prove me wrong.
